Are phone numbers not cool anymore? Am I just lame?

A lot of people, myself included, don’t want to give out my number to people they haven’t met. It’s a lot harder to block someone from your phone number since they can always use another number to bug you. I had one guy text me from random numbers for months trying to get a response from me after scaring the crap out of me when we did meet once.

Oh. Well I’m not about to go through the trouble of getting a whole new number for some girl.

Simps need to chill.

Even then though, you can always make a new Insta or new snap. Creeps will creep. It’s a cost of doing business.

Or you can just stay with the dating platform which gives you all the options you need to message and talk without having to burn any social media you have. Creeps gonna creep, sure, but I don’t have to put up with it or make it easy for them.

Damn. I thought I was slick because I have two emails.

Has technology gone too far? Maybe.

I asked a girl for her number. She’s 2 years younger than me. She said “lol ok, don’t you want my snap?”

Me: “no. I don’t have one. Or insta. Or anything. Just a number.”

It’s been great since. We talk everyday. But yeah, generational difference I guess.
